About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, fumbling for his keys in the dark. Suddenly, he noticed an old man standing outside, whispering something into his hat. The delivery driver squinted suspiciously but then shrugged and unlocked the door. The old man disappeared inside, still muttering under his breath. Later that week, everyone in town saw him leaving Chevron with a big smile on his face—and a full tank of gas. Nobody ever asked what was in that hat.

2. One morning, while filling up at Chevron, a regular noticed something odd on the pump display: it kept switching between prices in dollars and rubles. Nobody else seemed to notice—or care. Curious, the regular asked the attendant if anyone else saw the strange switcheroo. The guy shrugged and said, 'Nah, everyone’s too busy checking their phones.' As the regular drove off, he chuckled to himself—maybe it was just another quirky Chevron tradition no one told him about.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, fumbling for his keys. Suddenly, from inside the station, came an eerie humming sound—like someone tuning a piano in slow motion. The driver looked around nervously. As he approached the counter, an old man with a crooked smile asked, ‘Fill’er up, son?’ Startled, the driver replied, ‘Um, yeah…’ and watched as the gas pump started filling itself without anyone touching it. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic mechanic who’d been working late on his car. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Weirdest Chevron ever.’

4. At Chevron, a regular exclaimed one day, ‘I swear I saw that pump wink at me!’ Others shook their heads, but no one dared check after hours. Finally, late at night, a delivery driver looked closer and realized it was just an old pump with a loose wire. Everyone laughed, except for the poor guy who thought he’d seen ghosts. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Chevron, everyone would whisper, ‘Did you hear about the talking pumps?’
